I just purchased the Anton, but when I fly it I can’t fire the weapons. No matter how much power they won’t fire. Can anyone help? All the keys are bound correctly
Anton is the underdog with no doubt. Spit is out numbered here. Thinking about the outcome if 2 spits can take care of each other. Buy anyway good fight!
We have fought against Spits in Antons before. Outnumbered. If you stay disciplined and fast, the Spit cannot do much harm. The sheer firepower of the Anton is such a force multiplier.
Mystery too me why the 190 was so feared . again the MK5 which was light and powerful below 10K . the 190 does not climb or turn , the 190 was faster and rolled well . but the spit was more that up to it , I am not against the 190 but flying both I dont get it . ???? insight welcome
Well, we must take into consideration that the actual contemporary Fw190 version to the Mk 5 would be the A3, A4 or A5. The A8 in DCS is also weaker than the 1.63 ata version that existed. Then, it is way different when sitting inside the plane compared to the sim. When you feel the g forces during the manoeuvres and when you have to fight spatial disorientation, you simply cannot turn so crazily like we do in the sim sometimes. This may negate an advantage a fighter may have on paper. But what's most important is the firepower. Imagine you're up against a reasonable nimble fighter with 4x 20 mm cannons and a couple hundred rounds each gun. Taking into consideration that most victories were the result of ambush attacks, you can imagine how a certain fear factor comes to be. Lastly, dogfighting techniques (BFM we know today), were still in their infancy. Rate fights, one circle, two circle were not known at that time. A lot was trial and error and tactical flying (positioning, advantage, spotting the enemy first, etc.). Individual turn performance did not matter as much. The Pacific air war showed this as well. Zeros were always way more manoeuvrable than their American counterparts like the P40, P38, Corsair, Hellcat, etc. Nonetheless at least from 1942/1943 onwards, the American planes had a significant speed advantage, which is perfect for ambush attacks. Now, imagine you sit in a flying kite (which the Zero basically was) with almost no pilot protection. There are several factors that play into this.
Most WW2 fighting was formations trying to bounce each other. Now imagine you’re in a Spitfire when a bunch of German fighters are diving on you…you’ve gotten used to pulling hard on the stick and making a break turn that a 109 can’t follow because his roll rate isn’t amazing to begin with and his controls are stiff at high speed. But instead of a 109, it is a 190 that is diving even faster than you’re used to and staying very controllable the whole time. You turn to evade but some of your friends are hit with a barrage of cannon fire and now you’re outnumbered…you try to run but you’re too slow. RIP. When you try to bounce a 190 they dive too and use their roll rate and high speed controllability to evade, then hit the gas and escape because they’re faster once the energy states even out.
Great stuff!!
Well edited and great FW190 action. Thanks
Beautiful bird, but i am staying with K4, thats another kind of beast.
Nice hunt I/JG7 🛩
How did you lend ? Did you manage to extend another leg ? Good teamwork. Regards.
Yes, the other gear came down. But if worst comes to worst, you can land on one leg. It's a balancing act but works.

Follow this checklist:
- Weapon circuit breakers: IN
- Weapon master arm: ON (both switches)
- Trigger safety: OFF.
Then it should work.
@@IJG7Official thank you 🙏🏽

For sure 2 Spits wouldn’t be that easy to handle. No Doubt!
